It looks like my last blog is slightly outdated. It should include The Dark Knight as the number one Batman film released theatrically. Opening Night I watched this movie on the IMAX screen, and it was quite breathtaking to see some of the cinematography. The settings for the movie are a huge contrast from what we saw in the previous film, but there was still plenty of chaos on screen.…

Matthew Goode, the dashing, deep-voiced Brit best known for Match Point, Imagine Me & You and The Lookout, is "frightened as hell" of hardcore Watchmen fans attending the con.
Goode, 30, plays Adrian Veidt, aka Ozymandias, in the big screen version of Watchmen, a legendarily dark, legendarily legendary graphic novel about discredited superheroes struggling to survive in a world teetering on nuclear apocalypse (it's an alternate history of the 80s), a world that no longer trusts…

Aside from this article from Worst Previews, there is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this TREACHERY!!!!!
It's now looking less likely that audiences will get to see the planned film sequels to "The Golden Compass," which are based on Philip Pullman's children's fantasy trilogy "His Dark Materials."
Sources in the film industry said that plans for a sequel to "The Golden Compass" appeared to have been put on ice following disappointing box office… Continue

Growing up as an Asian American male in the US, I had a hard time finding tv and movie characters that I really identified. My love for movies wasn't really sparked until I turned 18 when I began working at a rental story and really brushed up on all the classic films I've missed out as a kid. On my laptop screen I popped in titles like Rambo, Die Hard, Equilibrium, Boondock Saints and other great flicks that I'll still remember as an old man. However outside of the Hong Kong martial arts films…

The Thing set the new standard for remakes and to this day stands as one of the best ever. Scary, thrilling and even after 25 years, still holds up.…

This weekend on a
a Couple of Cold Ones, Korey and I chatted about how this was the best geek year since 1982. Many of you, like Korey, are unfamiliar with the vast impact of just how cool that year was. Some incredible films came out that year - films many of us have in our DVD collections today. One year, one incredible year, gave us all this and it didn't matter what else was going on in the world. The whole…

Well, the science fiction phenomenon known as
Battlestar Galactica is in its final season. I personally admire the creators of the show for ending the series, despite the fact that their ratings are as high as ever. That shows that they actually care about making quality television, not milking as much moolah out of their viewers as they can. Unfortunately there are apparently still money-mongering executives around not willing to quit…
